IMGburn cannot write, WMP active?

Hello

I would like to burn Memtest on a disc, but whenever I want to use IMGburn it says:

DeviceIoControl (FSCTL_LOCK_VOLUME) failed!
Device TEAC DVD+-RW DVW28SLC A.06 (D

Unable to lock volume for exclusive access.

Reason: access denied.
Hint: Windows Media Player is currently running, close it and then click "Try again".

But WMP is not running ... how come?

Thanks

*edit* Found this:

Problem:
You get an error saying 'Unable to lock volume for exclusive access'

A.K.A. 'DeviceIoControl(FSCTL_LOCK_VOLUME) Failed!'

Answer:
If the 'Reason' given is 'Invalid function' (or words to that effect)

You need to update your IDE drivers. Your current ones are old and don't support this IMPORTANT feature.

If the 'Reason' given is 'Access is denied' (or words to that effect)

Another program is currently using the drive. You need to find out what it is and shut it down!

The only way I know of finding out what else has a 'handle' open to the drive is by using Process Explorer from www.sysinternals.com

Load it up and click 'Find' -> 'Find Handle...'

The type 'cdrom' and click 'search'

See if it comes up with any results

If it doesnt, try searching for the drive letter of that drive - i.e. 'F:'

If it finds something, click on it in the search window. The main window should then highlight the process / 'File' entry that contains the handle to the drive. You can right click -> close the handle if you like, or just close the entire application, it's up to you.

You may also get error 'Unknown (34)' sometimes. Cancel the burn, press F5 and then attempt to write it again. It's just windows going mad, nothing to worry about wink.gif

 

So, it's solved then? If not, you could try uninstalling your CD drive from Device Manager, rebooting, and having it re-install automatically. Or else, simply rebooting could clear a stuck process.

 

Well, I just rebooted and it worked flawlessly. Quite strange ...
